crossroads of the world. Death and
destruction hang over her former sub
ject peoples and her own. War once
more threatens the civilized world.

to Americabegging us to bring order and construction out of chaos and decay. But
in Constantinople seethes Imperial intrigue, and the Allied censors allow no American
news to be published.
Yours is the responsibility to decide. Shall America hold out her hand to the
Turk and the Armenian, the Arab and the Jew, or shall America turn over these
peoples once more to be the plaything of European diplomacy?
There's oil, and coal, and the great highway of the world in Turkey. Italy, Greece,
